Lobbyists are often seen as rapacious mercenaries, concerned less with the cause than the payday. But that doesn’t go for the entire lot, and one of the truly good guys of the corps hung up his hat this week. At least for now. Ben Graham, the omnipresent lobbyist for the Clark County district attorney’s office, is calling it quits after decades of yeoman’s work in Carson City. Graham was known not only for his reliable testimony but for the incomparable chocolate chip cookies he provided. (I bet they got him votes, too.) For those mourning the cookie man, fear not: Graham is working on a contract with a new employer to keep him in the capital and keep his colleagues and lawmakers — and maybe a reporter or two — in cookies.
